Nite Guard Installation Instructions
Please read the following to ensure proper charging and installation of your light

NOTHING
LIKE IT!
Nite Guard is a solar powered (no batteries needed ever) flashing, red light that, when postitioned correctly, will repel
night animals that could harm your livestock or your gardens. Scientific studies done in Europe have proven that all night animals
share the same deeply rooted fear of being watched and therefore threatened. Remember being told to never look a cornered animal
in the eyes as it represents a challenge? The specially engineered red flash of Nite Guard implies the eye of another organism
and presents that very threat. These studies have also shown the color red to be a universal alarm color for all animals and
humans. Stop signs are red in color for that reason.

PROPER CHARGING
Upon receipt of the Nite Guard make sure to remove
the black, protective tape that covers the solar panel. Simply install the light in the area to be protected and where it will
receive about 4 hours of daylight. Nite Guard will begin to operate that very night, however, it will take 3-4 days for the
light to be fully charged. If the light is placed in an area where it will not receive enough sunlight to maintain its charge
you may see the operation of the light become weak or even stop. In this situation, simply place the light in direct sunlight
for a 3-4 day period and it will fully charge up again. This product is obviously designed for outside use. Because it
is light sensitive, Nite Guard also provides protection at two critical times of the day--dusk and dawn.

YOU ARE IN CHARGE
Night
animals must see the flash to be repelled, therefore the correct positioning of the light is vital. You will be the best judge
of the final positioning of your Nite Guard because each area is different in terms of terrain, buildings, high grass, brush and trees.
Remember, in order to be totally effective, all four sides of the area where you have livestock or crops should be protected by the
flash of Nite Guard. Predator type animals are very determined to get at your poultry, animals or crops and will circle the
entire searching for a safe entry. Position the lights at approximately eye level with the predator to be stopped and make every
effort to mount the lights in an open area and because predators will not come close to investigate this dangerous "eye" they will
begin to shrink back from it the instant they are aware of it. Stopping night predators can be a complicated task - so be creative
with your positioning, using the suggested mounting instructions as a guideline! Also be patient and have enough Nite Guards
to do the job required. This will be the best investment you will have ever made to protect your livestock and property.

SLEEP TIGHT AT NIGHT
Maintenance
free Nite Guard is completely weather proof and has been tested to withstand rain, snow and ice. It was subject to the full
fury of Hurrican Katrina and did not miss a flash. It will also operate fully in below zero temperatures. Nite Guard is
constructed very well and will withstand rough handling and accidental dropping of the unit. Avoid excessive jarring or pounding
when installing the light and it will provide years of protection. Storage of the light during "off season" when it does not
need to be used will extend the life of the light. Simply place the light indoors where daylight will not hit the solar panel.
Flashing will continue until the battery runs out. When you want to use the light again, just follow the same instructions as
you would to charge a brand new light.

Mounting Instructions
|
| OWLS & HAWKS
Four lights mounted at least 10-14 feet in the air
on
a single post are required. Each light should face a
different direction; North, South, East and West.
Hawks and owls often
attack from low tree limbs, so
10-14 feet will put the lights at eye level. If located
on a hill, adjust the Nite Guards lower.
If in a
valley adjust lights higher. This is critical as the
raptors may come in from above or below the
lights in these areas.

|
SMALL
GROUND PREDATORS
For predators like raccoons, oppossum and skunk,
put lights approx. 50 feet apart around your entire
perimeter (all
four sides of the area) and place
them eye level to the predators approx. 10-12
inches off the ground. If the area has sides longer
than
50 feet, more lights should be used on each
side.
|
|
LARGE GROUND PREDATORS
For predators like fox, coyote, bobcat, wild boar,
mt.
lion and bear put lights approx. 100 feet apart
around your entire perimeter (all four sides of the
area) and place them
eye level to the predators
which is approx. 20-25 inches of the ground. If
the area has sides longer than 100 feet, more
lights
should be used on each side.

DEER
Four Nite Guard lights placed on a single stake 4
feet high, each light facing a different direction.
Move
the Nite Guard lights and stake every 3 days
is absolutely critical as it breaks the pattern
that deer may get used to.
